Every dollar JK Rowling makes from Harry Potter is going into bankrolling an extortion racket issuing legal threats to organizations across the UK to purge themselves of trans people or face ruinous lawfare.
i hope every single person who still buys harry potter merch or engages with that franchise is happy that they're literally making girl guides cry
girl guides uk have been forced very much against their will to exclude trans girls. full statement is here: www.girlguiding.org.uk/information-...

"But Mike," you're asking, "don't the higher tiers get me ... exactly the same thing as the lower one?" YES! "This ... makes no sense." CORRECT!

Out of the five TTRPG I really wanted to play in 2025 I managed to play three. That's not bad in my book.
I also played some Shadowdark, Brindlewood Bay and of course D&D.
Shout-out to @professional-sloth.bsky.social, @mitvorteil.bsky.social and all the other lovely folk who played games with me!
